Basically any manoeuvre where the model is stalled is what I term 3D. Funnily enough hovering doesn't come into that category as the wing definitely is not stalled, but I still consider it a 3D move of course.

What do I look for in a 3D model? Well it's got to do normal pattern moves very well for starters. Pure 3D models really are not my bag. After two flights I'm bored out my mind and are craving for some nice graceful pattern (much more challenging and rewarding in my book hence it keeps my interest). I’m about to buy a 50cc QQ Yak which should do both well, that's my idea of a good 3D model.
